The Queen’s organizers have landed two more big names for the 2026 men’s and women’s tournament editions after Jack Draper and Jessica Pegula signed up to play at the HSBC Championships.

Draper, the reigning Miami Masters champion and the world No. 10, is set to make his fifth consecutive appearance at the Queen’s Club. The top-ranked British male tennis player’s best result at the HSBC Championships came this year, when he made the semifinal before losing to Jiri Lehecka.

As you probably know – in June – the Queen’s Club hosted a WTA tournament for the first time since 1973. While it featured some big names, world No. 6 Pegula opted to skip it. But next year, the 2024 US Open runner-up plans to include the HSBC Championships as part of her preparation for Wimbledon.

Previously, the Queen’s organizer also confirmed Carlos Alcaraz and Amanda Anisimova for 2026.

Draper, who has firmly established himself as the British No. 1 following Andy Murray’s retirement, dreams of making it all the way at the British ATP 500 grass tournament.

“I’m really looking forward to being back (at the HSBC Championships) – I played some really good tennis this year and it’s one of my favorite tournaments being in front of a home crowd, I just love the atmosphere. I’ve got a picture of me next to the trophy when I’m a kid and I’m just about taller than the trophy so hopefully one day I’ll get to lift that up,” Draper said.

Pegula claimed the she heard positive feedback about the tournament from other players.

“I’m really looking forward to playing the HSBC Championships at The Queen’s Club. I’ve heard great things from other players about the setup, the atmosphere, and the history there, so it’ll be fun to experience it for myself,” Pegula said.
